queensthiefI just read a great book called Graceling by Kristin Cashore, and went to her website for some info on sequels, and ended up at her FAQ, and look what I found!!!
"Can you recommend some good YA fantasy?I can indeed, and I invite my readers to add their own recommendations in the comments. I've never read anything by Tamora Pierce or Robin McKinley I didn't like. With Pierce, the Alanna quartet is a great place to start; with McKinley, The Blue Sword, The Hero and the Crown, and Deerskin are among my personal favorites. Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials cannot be beat. Cynthia Voigt has an inter-related quartet of books called the Novels of the Kingdom that aren't technically fantasy (nothing impossible happens), but they have a medieval fantasy feel. They are: Jackaroo; On Fortune's Wheel; The Wings of a Falcon; and Elske. I've also just started reading the Megan Whalen Turner Attolia books, starting with The Thief -- WONDERFUL."
Just made me excited and I thought you'd like to know!!!!
